Is this able to grind grains? I need something to make ground flaxseed, almond flour, rice flour, etc.

I doubt it. The food processor piece is pretty weak and mine "died" after about 120 days, being used once a week to chop onions and peppers. The blender is a traditional blender.

I've not tried to grind grain with mine, but it is very powerful, so I imagine it could. I regularly make smoothies with lots of frozen fruit and it pulverizes them in no time at all.

Flax grinds well with a blade type grinder. A burr grinder is not really designed to grind oil seeds like flax.

Absolutely! This grinder ROCKS! I have ground flax with it beautifully. I haven't ground sunflower seeds yet (great idea) but I'm confident the grinder would have no problems. Two passes through the grinder is usually what i do. Three if my grain is larger and / or harder.

Hi, have been out of pocket for a few weeks, so just now getting to your question. The flour has a great taste and is great for baking. Not sure 'how large a grain parts' you're asking about? It is not a 'rough or coarse' grind with tons of hulls or unground seed-parts in it, but is obviously not as fine as the sterile white bleached stuff you get in stores. We buy it because it IS whole grain, which means you get the nutrition stored in the seed coat. Hope this is helpful. (p.s. we would purchase from them again)

I've never used it for anything but coffee beans but I imagine you could grind flax seed on a finer setting.

I think the mini seed mill will do coffee but for sure not the large mill. So far I have only used the small grinder for spices. The large mill will only grind dry grain nothing that is wet or oily such as flax seeds or nuts.

It would grind much finer for sure, but since I do not eat wheat (we eat Gluten Free) I do not know for sure. I could go test it to see if it would make rice into granules (which I believe it would), to make cream of rice, only it started smoking yesterday, and shaving off plastic from some part inside and spitting the plastic shavings into the already ground flour. So now I am afraid to turn it on, and will be purchasing a new mill, but a different brand, for reasons already stated.

I would say yes it will grind flax seed. It can make coffee beans in to a very fine grind for slow auto drip. It can make a cup, maybe a little more of ground product.

I would certainly not recommend purchasing the VICTORIO Deluxe Grain Mill (VKP1024) for the sole purpose of grinding dried herbs as that is not what it is designed for. That being said, if you are looking for a grain mill which you can also use for other items, then this is the right mill. Keep in mind that you don't want to put any wet foods or oily foods into the mill as it will gum up and eventually damage the milling cones.

Not really, I have only used it for salt. First, make sure you filled the glass bowl with the seeds, and screwed the grinder top on tightly. Turn it upside down, with the glass bowl on top, and holding the base, turn the glass clockwise to activate the grinder. If you are doing all that, perhaps the seeds are oily and catching in the grinder? I use my Vitamix to grind flax, it works wonderfully.

Yes, I have been using it to grind rice. It just takes a little while to produce but the result is good. Though it is not as powder-y as the rice flour you can buy in the store, it works for what I am making. After few uses I felt like I needed the motor so I went ahead and ordered it and I am excited to get it soon.

I doubt it: grinder is good for cracking grain. Consider this: soaking nuts overnight, pouring off water, adding fresh water, pulverizing in blender.

I don't see why not. It's less hard than grains. It's a good thought... I was thinking of dehydrating home made dog food, and it would surely save space to grind it too! This handles some pretty tough whole wheat berries. I have run mine over an hour with the motor attachment. I opted for this one because I can also hand grind when the power is out. I make breads on the woodstove, which are great. Even power is on I do it! Make sure you realize only this deluxe can take the motor...I know that's not what you asked about...but the motor is very worth it! My only one little issue with this grinder for wheat....which is no big deal... but it may also be true with veggies...sometimes when you are near the end of what's in the hopper, sometimes (with motor OFF please!) need to push the stuff down a little more. Seems the weight of more stuff in the hopper does the pushing. Not an issue with the hand grinding so much, but could be. I poke the stuff down with a skewer and it works again for the duration of what's left in it. Very sturdy, very good, I use it on the finest setting, good fine powder comes out.

Yes, but it will grind them very finely. I use it to grind both coffee and flax seed, and it does a fabulous job. For things that I want a courser grind, I usually use a small food processor that I have.

Yes, I would think so. I have never tried other grains or seeds, but I grind wheat into a very fine flour, and rice is a similar grain. I have trouble telling the difference between flour ground on the coarse setting and flour ground on the fine setting. This mill will not make grits!

Hi,You should be able to grind almonds with the blade that comes with the basic machine. You'll need to put the 'blank' in, where the fine screen usually goes, so as to push out the ground almonds. Do you want almond flour? Otherwise, you may have to chop the almonds fine enough to use the grain mill, but I have not done this with mine.

Yes, this grinder can be used to crack and grind soybeans. But it is a bit messy to use for that purpose and the hopper is too small.I would recommend the Family Grain Mill or the Country Living Grain Mill for soybeans instead of this one as they can do larger quantitieswith their bigger hoppers. Both of these grain mills are available through Amazon also. Just do a search through the search bar for "grain mill".This one is great for grinding smaller grains to flour, but soybeans may be a bit more than it can handle...
